[QUOTE="browned out, post: 3920442, member: 8105"] The IBT's thought process is very similar to the tact used by UPS. The IBT/UPS train of thought being: that everyone is too afraid or that no one is smart enough to take the IBT or UPS to task on any issues. The IBT and UPS have vastly underestimated what a few highly intelligent people can accomplish. That said: Intelligence and Courageousness will not correct the IBT's Failure to Fulfill it's duty of Fair representation DURING contract negotiations. The 3 step formula to correct the gross negligence of the IBT is below: 1st $ is needed; then you can secure the 2nd; An experienced labor attorney who is more concerned with fighting for the union members than worrying about stepping on Hoffa/Taylor's toes. 3. Have firm legal connections in place. This is where we got 'em. Hopefully; it does not come to that. There is still time for Taylor to go back and address the issues that he stated he would go back and address. There is even more time for the disgraceful union officials at 243 to go back and fix our supplement. And if they can not fix it; then they are required to answer members questions. And inform the members what they are voting on: NO A package car driver is not guaranteed 40 hours per week. YES A currently non-existent position will be guaranteed 40 hours per week. NO A package car driver will not be allowed to bid on a T-S or W-S position to ensure they reach 40 hours. NO A package car driver will not be able to bump a 22.4 on a Saturday or Sunday if in fact that package car driver has not reached 40 hours. ETC. ETC. It is painfully simple to answer the members questions at this stage of negotiations. Yet; the Hoffa/Taylor/243 refuse to do so. There is no need to force package car drivers into filing grievances for issues that should have been resolved before the vote. No one wants to file charges but someone absolutely will if necessary.
